In Memory of
My Best Friend
We were Best Friends since our Kid days, for more than thirty years
The 1970's

We Shared many Good and Bad Times together and always there to Help the other
What's Happening? No Happening, He would say
Far from Perfect, yet with Spontaneity we Lived our Lives to the Fullest!
He was Sociable

Bikers, Best Friends, Mentors and true Brothers we were!
Jim, Bud or Muff Hard Working

He was True as one could be and without giving up, he once saved my life!
Tough and yet Caring

All the Years he Gave me Support, Laughter and a lot of Good Times!
He was always there when I Needed him

At Forty Three Years Old, he had slowed down and was engaged to be Married.
Serious, yet Light hearted, he would make you Laugh

He Touched many Lives as only he could!
Part of Our Family!
And Quickly he Left us while on his weekly Friday night excursion.
Enjoying himself at the Moose lodge while Laughing with friends.
They Say, "For the Closer you were to the Person, the Deeper the Pain is!"
I Know for Many it is Deep and mine cannot get any deeper!
Yet I Remember what Bud had told me a Week before it happened.
Without Knowing, it had just been a "What if" part of our Conversation!
With a Sincerity he Said, "That he wouldn't have any more Worry's,
it happens to us all and Life goes on!"
One of his Hobby's was collecting Zippo's

Side by Side, the two of us some day again will Ride!
